Let A = QXQ and let * be a binary operation on A defined by (a, b) * (c, d) = (ac, b + ad) for all (a, b), (c, d) belongs to A then find identity element in A.
Let A = QXQ and let * be a binary operation on A defined by (a, b) * (c, d) = (ac, b + ad) for all (a, b), (c, d) belongs to A then find identity element in A. Correct Answer (1, 0)
Concept:
Let A = QXQ and let * be a binary operation on A and e = (a', b') be the identity element of A.
⇒ p * e = p = e * p
Calculations:
Let A = QXQ and let * be a binary operation on A defined by (a, b) * (c, d) = (ac, b + ad) for all (a, b), (c, d) belongs to A.
Let e = (a', b') be the identity element of A.
⇒ p * e = p = e * p
Consider, p * e = p
(a, b) * (a', b') = (a, b)
⇒ (aa', b + ab') = (a, b)
⇒ aa' = a, b + ab' = b
⇒ a' = 1, b' = 0
⇒ e = (1, 0) be the identity element of A.
Hence, A = QXQ and let * be a binary operation on A defined by (a, b) * (c, d) = (ac, b + ad) for all (a, b), (c, d) belongs to A then the identity element in A is (1, 0)
